Thanks both of you. I am using a custom YARPP template but I can't seem to fathom how to amend the $related_query to add the restriction of a post author. Anyone know how to do this or am I looking along the wrong lines? Mitcho how would you suggest I would amend the custom template?

I'll have a look at the Widget Logic plugin but I think you may misunderstand, I am able to show YARRP where I want it, what I would like to do is restrict the related posts it displays to only one author. Thanks though.

@zoen, the thing to do, as I understand what you're trying to do, would not be to modify the actual YARPP display logic, but rather to add code to check whether the current page is a page where you actually should display the results or not.

Hello all! Very new at this, and Mitcho, I'm in the forums now. I would like to filter related posts display by category as well. I work for a newspaper, and it'd be depressing to see related posts for obituaries or the police blotter. How does one accomplish this? I'm intrigued by using Widget Logic, except that would get very complicated, setting up exceptions for each post. Any help? THANKS!
